A proposed Bluetooth tag and gateway that track a hamster’s wheel activity overnight, from lap count and distance to speed and personal records.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The proposed system separates sensing from phone connectivity: a gyro tag records wheel rotations, while a dedicated gateway listens beside the cage throughout the night. The page specifies an 8+ Hz update rate, months of coin-cell operation, and a 12:00–12:00 measurement day so overnight runs remain intact. Its health workflow uses each hamster’s 14-day rolling median to identify sustained deviations, with an intended export for veterinary visits.
